Product Description
With his first solo album, which was originally released in 1974, Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Tempel) laid the foundation for many other upcoming works. In fact, the guitar was invented here, for his play on the three epic tracks are years ahead of its time: Circular, flat, layered loops and improvisations create a compelling, hypnotic atmosphere and make this album in retrospect a landmark of new guitar culture. The album was completely remastered by Manuel Göttsching himself and is finally available in superb quality.

| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful By norman a. blardony (Philippines) - See all my reviews This review is from: Inventions for Electric Guitar (Audio CD) No keyboards just the magic of Gottchings electric guitar, you can hear thousands of sounds from his 6 string gadget and unbelievably succesful. Even the guitar sequencers are pulsating. If you think these are just tape loops and sounds of like an electric saw that is a Fripp trademark, well you are mistaken, this is like baumann and schmoelling tangerine dream- heavy, angry and rocking!! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Inventions for Electric Guitar (Audio CD) Spectacular. This is one CD of just space-guitar improvisation. It is not as bad as that sounds. This is simply very very beautiful and was very very ahead of its time. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Inventions for Electric Guitar (Audio CD) Originally released in 1975, rather this be a Manuel Gottsching solo title, or an actual Ash Ra Temple album, I loved what this CD has to offer. Though it may be somewhat over my head, I was quite impress with this piece. Couldn't get enough of the trance-guitar 'gem' sort to speak "Echo Waves" (17:45), the smoothly played "Quasarshere" (6:34) - is Gottsching paying tribute to Robert Fripp or what? and the awesome "Pluralis" (21:36). Maybe a bit diiferent than the very early Ash Ra Tempel goodies like their self-titled debut, 'Seven Up' and 'Join Inn', but still a listening experience. Highly recommended. |
